One of many projects that is finally finished. This was my old 12LW carpet racer from the early 90s. A long time ago, the car lost the main shock and was shelved up until recently. It took a while to finish due to the missing shock. Thanks to fellow member a01butal! He sent me the complete part and I was able to finish the car. Here is how it looked before.

This build was mostly a tidy up using several period electronics. Novak receiver and T4 ESC along with 20 turn x3 LightSpeed motor. My old futaba servo died during testing so I used a high speed A5030 Spektrum in its place. The body is a Parma Mazda and is painted with a simple theme. The 4 cell battery still works after all this time but will mostly serve display duty. Now time to work on another.....
